  Comment


  The number of patent application in emerging market countries exceeded that in developed market countries for the first time. It still has a big gap with the developed world in terms of patents and other indicators of innovation, albeit a gap the country is likely to close given its spending on innovation and R&D.(by Liu Peng)
